The host obviously knew everyone's reaction early on, smiled and continued:

"You all see the bottles in front of you, right? One contains high-proof liquor, the other hot water. When you start eating, you must choose one to drink. The last one standing will be today's champion."

Upon hearing this, not only did the other contestants react, but even Yang Yan's expression changed a bit.

What the heck!

Truly, business thrives on cunning.

Aren't you afraid someone might get killed from this?!

Neither the liquor nor the boiling water are any good!

Especially when eating spicy food.

"There's no time limit for the contest. The first to drink one of the selections and finish one hundred peppers will be today's winner. Ready—begin!"

The host ignored everyone's reactions and directly announced the start of the contest.

Despite feeling uneasy, none of them decided to withdraw.

Yang Yan smiled wryly, grabbed a pepper, and popped it into his mouth.

As he bit down, a pungent flavor filled his mouth instantly.

Yang Yan frowned slightly, grabbed the high-proof liquor in front of him, and gulped down a large mouthful.

Spiciness is a sense of pain, not taste.

It's a burning sensation caused by alkaloids irritating the taste buds.

For someone like Yang Yan, although this level of spiciness is uncomfortable, it doesn't really harm him.

Yang Yan continued in this manner, pepper and liquor, until he finished one hundred peppers in no time.

When he finished the last pepper, everyone inside and outside the arena was stunned.

People outside the arena were speechless; they didn't even have the courage to sign up, so their feelings weren't as profound.

But those on the stage had tasted the peppers.

Every one of them registered because they thought they were great at eating peppers, yet just one had them questioning their life choices.

Not to mention having to choose between liquor and hot water to drink.

Yang Yan's recent performance really gave them quite a shock.

"Wow! This gentleman is amazing! He eats so fast, it looks like he's going to break our record!"

Even the host couldn't help but express a moment of admiration.

Then, he began to stir up the emotions of all participants:

"If nothing unexpected happens, this gentleman will be today's champion. Next, let's have him choose his prize."

However, Yang Yan still needs to challenge the peppers for the prizes, only after finishing them can he claim the prize.

Many looked at Yang Yan with envy.

After all, even the cheapest prizes are worth tens of thousands.

And there's even a Mercedes Benz worth millions.

"Sir, you can choose a prize to challenge. If you can eat the peppers before the prize, then the prize is yours."

"Of course, before starting the challenge, I need to ask if you're sure about it. You must know, the peppers before the prizes are on a different level than the ones you just ate!"

The host said seriously.

"Let's start already, I can't wait any longer."

Yang Yan casually smiled and urged the host.

"Alright then, sir, which prize do you plan to challenge?"

The man asked Yang Yan.

"That one."

Yang Yan pointed at the teddy bear and said.

"Wow! Sir, you have great taste. That toy is a limited edition, with only a hundred worldwide."

"Our boss obtained it by chance, are you sure you want it?"

The host, hearing the audience's exclamation, quickly explained the origin of the teddy bear, doing his utmost to hype the atmosphere.

After all, people like Zhou Hanyu who could instantly recognize a global limited edition are a minority.

Even when Yang Yan pointed to this limited edition teddy bear earlier, many began discussing whether to ridicule his taste or his lack of courage.

Although knowing the upcoming challenge is difficult, as the saying goes, the more the merrier, almost everyone believed Yang Yan should challenge a more expensive prize.

"Yes! I'm sure."

Yang Yan nodded seriously.

"Bring the peppers for prize number three forward, this gentleman wants to challenge it."

As the host's words fell, a staff member immediately brought forward a transparent plastic box from in front of the teddy bear, containing a small, red pepper.

When the staff opened the box in front of Yang Yan, the big screen immediately showed a close-up.

Upon seeing this pepper clearly, someone immediately gasped.

This pepper is no ordinary one.

Everyone finally realized why these guys dare to hold such a contest.

With this thing around, truly no one could ever take the prize home.

"Sir, are you sure you want to challenge this? This pepper is really very spicy!"

The host looked Yang Yan straight in the eye, speaking very seriously.

Trying to dissuade him by revealing the true difficulty.

"Can I start now?"

Yang Yan surely recognized the pepper, but he didn't care.

"Uh..."

The man glanced at Yang Yan, suddenly curling his lips into a cold smile, nodding slightly:

"You may."

Yang Yan reached out to pick up the pepper, and as he touched it, a stinging sensation spread from his hand.

This thing is indeed extraordinary, it's so spicy that even touching it causes a tingling feeling.

Yang Yan picked up the pepper, and the smug smile on the host's face vanished immediately.

He looked at Yang Yan suspiciously, couldn't help but added:

"Sir, you better think this through, eating this pepper might be fatal. And you signed the agreement upon registration, any accidents are not our responsibility."

"You knew and still put it out?"

Yang Yan glared at the host, then swallowed the pepper whole.

After Yang Yan finished, he looked at the utterly shocked host and said calmly:

"I've eaten it; now this limited edition teddy bear is mine, right?"

The host was completely stunned at this point.

He never expected someone in this world could actually eat such a pepper raw.

"Are you okay? That pepper looked really unusual. I heard them say it's the hottest pepper in the world, could actually be fatal."

Zhou Hanyu hugged the teddy bear and looked at Yang Yan with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. That pepper is very spicy, but you know, I'm not ordinary. Such a pepper only mildly stimulates my taste buds, not causing any harm."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"What kind of pepper is that? It looks so hot. I heard them talking but didn't catch much."

Chen Xi asked curiously beside them.
